Our work
Four things, mostly
None of them complicated. Resources for schools chosen by their own pupils, somewhere to talk, three hubs anyone can walk into, and collecting for other charities while we're at it.
One
In schools
We give schools the resources their own pupils asked for — buddy benches, planters, bird feeders, uniforms for families who can’t stretch to them.
The requests come from youth champions: pupils who know what’s needed because they’re the ones being told. There’s no cost to the school.
Three
Three community hubs
Open Monday to Saturday. A sensory room for autistic and dementia visitors. A room where children being bullied can talk to someone. Meeting rooms at £2 a session. A soft play area.
A charity shop and a gift shop pay for a good deal of the rest.
Four
Helping other charities
We’re one of the few charities that collects for other charities. Our recycling buckets gather items — clothes, food, all sorts — for seven other local causes.
Items, not money. Bring what you’ve got to the hub and we make sure it reaches the right place.
And one more
Learning, at the hub and at home
Home-schooled children, and children who fell behind with reading during covid, come to the hub to work through it with their parents. The same material is free on the site.
We’re not a school and we don’t teach in a parent’s place — we give families somewhere to do it and something to work from.
Make it possible
All of it runs on volunteers
Nobody here takes a wage, so whatever you give goes further than you'd expect.
